Thousands of spectators attended a ceremony on June 30, 2013, on the French island of Noirmoutier to commemorate an American bomber crew that crash landed there on July 4, 2013, during World War II. During the ceremony, a monument was unveiled on the beach near where the B-17 crashed, and where its wreckage still lies. Shown here is the Sally B, the last airworthy B-17 in Europe, which performed a flyover during the ceremony.
